Sriram Krishnan, the former senior White House policy adviser on AI, is linked to a new venture fund focused on the intersection of artificial intelligence and government policy. Krishnan held his government position from January 20, 2025, to June 30, 2026, during which he co-authored the American AI Action Plan in July 2025 and contributed to an executive order on AI innovation and security.
Following his departure from the White House, Krishnan announced plans to build institutions addressing AI challenges, specifically citing energy and data centers. He is also reportedly exploring the possibility of leading an industry self-regulatory body that would involve major technology firms such as Google and OpenAI.
Before his government tenure, Krishnan worked as a General Partner at Andreessen Horowitz from 2021 to 2024. He is also a co-founder of the venture firm Kearny Jackson, which closed a $65 million Fund III in 2024 to target B2B SaaS and infrastructure sectors.
As of October 2026, Krishnan intends to continue influencing US AI policy while launching new technology initiatives. Observers are monitoring the new fund's portfolio, the potential formation of the self-regulatory body, and the relationship between the new fund and Kearny Jackson's existing capital.
